Your personal chocobo can be called to fight by your side after completing the quest My Feisty Little Chocobo. Upon being called using Gysahl Greens, your companion will be of equal level to your job/class. Your companion has its own separate leveling curve, with increased companion levels leading to increased skills/abilities. Companion EXP is gained simply by killing mobs with your Chocobo companion out, and from certain challenges in the Challenge Log.

Barding

Chocobo gear known as 'barding' has been issued by the Grand Companies, and is also separately available through other means, is said to protect these avian mounts on and off the turmoils of the battlefield.

Barding does not, at this time, affect a chocobo in any way aside from changing its appearance.
